SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk: Mark Wolynn: How Inherited Family Trauma Shapes Who We Are
DESCRIPTION:Register for this author talk: libraryc.org/morseinstitute \nHow do the experiences of our ancestors influence our thoughts and behaviors today? In his award-winning book\, It Didn’t Start with You\, author Mark Wolynn shares compelling evidence that the roots of our anxiety\, phobias\, and chronic pain may not reside in our immediate life experience or in chemical imbalances in our brains—but in the lives of our parents\, grandparents\, and even great-grandparents. And now\, The Official It Didn’t Start with You Workbook is available with practical exercises to take your understanding even further. \nAs a pioneer in the field of inherited family trauma\, Mark Wolynn has worked with individuals and groups on a therapeutic level for over twenty years. It Didn’t Start with You is a transformative approach to resolving longstanding difficulties that in many cases\, traditional therapy\, drugs\, or other interventions have not had the capacity to touch. \nRegister today to join our virtual conversation and learn more about how inherited family trauma impacts your health–and how to break the cycle.  \nAbout the Author: Mark Wolynn (accent on “l‎‎ynn”) is a leading expert in the field of inherited family trauma. He’s the director of The Family Constellation Institute in the US and is renowned for his work that bridges epigenetics\, neuroscience\, and somatic healing\, and shows how the traumas of our parents\, grandparents\, and even great grandparents\, can live in our bodies as unexplained depression\, anxiety\, obsessive thoughts\, and chronic health conditions. His book It Didn’t Start with You is an international bestseller\, which has sold more than three million copies worldwide. It won the Silver Nautilus Book Award for Psychology and has been translated into 40 languages. Mark has just released the 2025 revised edition of It Didn’t Start with You and The Official It Didn’t Start with You Workbook.

SUMMARY:Nonfiction Book Club
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis month\, we will discuss Grandma Gatewood’s Walk: the inspiring story of the woman who saved the Appalachian Trail by Ben Montgomery.  \nFrom the book flap:  \n \n  \nEmma Gatewood told her family she was going on a walk and left her small Ohio hometown with a change of clothes and less than $200. The next anybody heard from her\, this genteel\, farm-reared\, 67-year-old great-grandmother had walked 800 miles along the 2\,050-mile Appalachian Trail. And in September 1955\, having survived a rattlesnake strike\, two hurricanes\, and a run-in with gangsters from Harlem\, she stood atop Maine’s Mount Katahdin. There she sang the first verse of America\, the Beautiful and proclaimed: I said I’ll do it\, and I’ve done it.  \n  \nCopies of this book are available at the library.  \n  \nOur discussion will be on Zoom.  Please register here to receive the meeting details: \n  \n\n\n                \n                        \n                            Nonfiction Book Club Registration - June 2026\n                             \n                        \n                        your nameemail*\n                            \n                        \n          \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n        \n                        Δ

SUMMARY:Bob Parlin: Afterimages
DESCRIPTION:Bob Parlin’s photography exhibit Afterimages will be on display from June 19th – July 29th. \nAccording to Bob: \nMy Afterimages photography exhibit centers on experiences\, especially those tied to moments of beauty\, where an image stays with you long after seeing it.  My favorite photographs capture creations of nature and humanity\, revealing how truly breathtaking our world is.  I hope they give the viewer a sense of both wonder and joy.   \nNone of these images has been altered in any way — not even cropped.  Except for the canvases\, every photo was taken with an iPhone 13 Pro.  \n  \n\n        \n            \n                                                \n\n                                        \n                        birdwaterrockvineyardduckantelopecanyon                    \n\n                                    \n            \n        \n        \n  \nBob Parlin has had a passion for photography since he was given a camera at the age of seven.  Now retired after 35 years as a high school teacher\, Bob travels the world in search of new sights and experiences\, capturing vivid images on film. A lifelong resident of Massachusetts\, Bob has visited all 50 US states and more than 60 countries in his ongoing endeavor to explore beguiling scenes of nature\, colorful locales\, and fascinating people.  \nBob’s photographs will be on display in an accessible location at TCAN in early 2027. \nFollow Bob on Instagram at parlinbob \nIf you are interested in purchasing a piece\, please contact Bob at brobsf@comcast.net

SUMMARY:Nonfiction Book Club
DESCRIPTION:**Please note: this month we are meeting on the 5th Saturday in order to avoid Memorial Day weekend** \n  \nThis month\, we will discuss Cabin: off the grid adventures with a clueless craftsman by Patrick Hutchison.  \nAccording to Macmillan Publishers: \nWit’s End isn’t just a state of mind. It’s the name of a gravel road\, the address of a run-down off-the-grid cabin\, 120 shabby square feet of fixer-upper Patrick Hutchison purchased on a whim in the mossy woods of the Cascade Mountains in Washington state. \nTo say Hutchison didn’t know what he was getting into is no more an exaggeration than to say he’s a man with nearly zero carpentry skills. Well\, used to be. You can learn a lot over six years of renovations. \nCABIN is the story of those renovations\, but it’s also a love story; of a place\, of possibilities\, and of the process of construction\, of seeing what could be instead of what is. It is a book for those who know what it’s like to bite off more than you can chew\, or who desperately wish to. \n  \nCopies of this book are available at the library.  \n  \nOur discussion will be on Zoom.  Please register here to receive the meeting details: \n  \n\n                \n                        \n                            Nonfiction Book Club Registration - May 2026\n                             \n                        \n                        your nameemail*\n                            \n                        \n          \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n        \n                        Δ

SUMMARY:Nonfiction Book Club
DESCRIPTION:  \nThis month\, we will discuss The Art Thief: a true story of passion\, obsession\, and a monumental crime spree by Michael Finkel.  \n \nFrom MichaelFinkel.com: The Art Thief chronicles one of the most outrageous crime sprees in history: In the late 1990s and early 2000s\, Stéphane Breitwieser stole from more than 200 museums and galleries across Europe\, amassing a collection worth an estimated $2 billion. He never resorted to violence – his audacious thefts all occurred during daylight hours\, most with the aid of his girlfriend\, Anne-Catherine Kleinklaus\, who served as lookout. And unlike nearly every other art thief\, Breitwieser did not steal for money. He displayed his treasures in a secret lair where he and his girlfriend could admire them. Yet even more astounding than his crimes is the spectacular events that brought everything crashing down.  \nThe Art Thief\, based on a series of exclusive interviews with Breitwieser\, the first he has ever granted to an American journalist\, details a riveting story of love\, crime\, and an insatiable hunger to possess beauty at any cost. \n  \nCopies of this book are available at the library.  \n  \nOur discussion will be on Zoom.  Please register here to receive the meeting details: \n  \n\n                \n                        \n                            Nonfiction Book Club Registration - April 2026\n                             \n                        \n                        your nameemail*\n                            \n                        \n          \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n        \n                        Δ

SUMMARY:Nonfiction Book Club
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nThis month\, we will discuss Dropkick Murphy: a legendary life by Emily Sweeney.  \n \nFrom Hamilcar Publications: \nNewspapers called him the “the man with the cast-iron toes\,” “the best drop-kicker in wrestling\,” and “one of the mat game’s biggest box office attractions.” But Dr. John “Dropkick” Murphy’s legacy extends far beyond the wrestling ring. Decades before the Betty Ford Center became a household name — and long before the band the Dropkick Murphys named themselves in his honor — the phrase going to Dropkick’s meant a person struggling with addiction needed help and would soon get some. \nThis book chronicles for the first time the unbelievable life of Dr. “Dropkick” Murphy\, a professional wrestler who put himself through medical school during the Great Depression and then opened Bellows Farm\, a one-of-a-kind institution that served as both a facility where elite athletes could train as well as a secluded place where down-on-their-luck alcoholics could go to sober up discreetly. \nThe celebrities who frequented Dropkick Murphy’s farm were many\, and numerous professional athletes would go there to focus on their training and work out in his state-of-the-art gymnasium. As a result\, Bellows Farm featured an unrivaled and revolving cast of colorful characters who brought it to life. Drawing on years of research and interviews\, author Emily Sweeney goes behind the scenes to reveal the untold story of Murphy’s life\, his farm\, and the legendary events that unfolded there. \n  \nCopies of this book are available at the library.  \n  \nOur discussion will be on Zoom.  Please register here to receive the meeting details: \n  \n\n                \n                        \n                            Nonfiction Book Club Registration - March 2026\n                             \n                        \n                        your nameemail*\n                            \n                        \n          \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n        \n                        Δ

SUMMARY:VIRTUAL: Paintings of the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of America’s Semiquincentennial\, Mallory Mortillaro presents Paintings of the American Revolution. \nWe all know the story of the Revolutionary War\, but how much of our understanding is colored by the way the war was depicted by artists? Paintings of the American Revolution have been essential in the way that the war was understood\, both at the time of the conflict and for generations after. This lecture will explore well-known paintings such as Emanuel Leutze’s Washington Crossing the Delaware\, John Trumbull’s Declaration of Independence\, and Asher Durand’s The Capture of Major André. \nMallory Mortillaro is an art historian and educator. She has ten years of teaching experience and has worked on various art research projects for museums and organizations in the New York metropolitan area. She studied at Drew University. \nThis program will be held over Zoom. Please register to receive the meeting link.  \n\n                \n                        \n                            VIRTUAL: Paintings of the American Revolution w/Art Historian Mallory Mortillaro\n                             \n                        \n                        Name*Email\n                            \n                        \n          \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n        \n                        Δ

These photos have won numerous international awards and have been shown and sold at the prestigious Association of International Photography Art Dealers (AIPAD) exposition in NYC.  Karin’s photographic submission in First Doubt: Optical Confusion in Modern Photography at YUAG was selected to represent the show of 100 images by famous 20th Century photographers and was featured in the New York Times review.   \nAt the Griffin Museum of Photography in 2016\, she curated 37 Photographers/One Model with nudes in nature by her and her workshop students of a male dancer in his fifties\, overturning conventions of nude photography.  As a Resident Artist/Scholar at Brandeis University’s Women’s Studies Research Center\, she initiated and oversaw an exhibition of photographs by Vivian Maier in 2013.  In 2018-2019\, she exhibited at Brandeis’ Kniznick Gallery in a two-person show\, Half-Silvered. A book entitled Karin Rosenthal: Twenty Years of Photographs was published in conjunction with a retrospective of her Nudes in Water series at the Danforth Museum in 2000. \nLearn more about Karin on her website\, Facebook\, and Instagram. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Nonfiction Book Club
DESCRIPTION:  \n  \nThis month\, we will discuss Driving Mr. Albert: A trip across America with Einstein’s brain by Michael Paterniti.  \n From Penguin Random House: \nAlbert Einstein’s brain floats in a Tupperware bowl in a gray duffel bag in the trunk of a Buick Skylark barreling across America. Driving the car is journalist Michael Paterniti. Sitting next to him is an 84-year-old pathologist named Thomas Harvey\, who performed the autopsy on Einstein in 1955 — then simply removed the brain and took it home. And kept it for over forty years. \nOn a cold February day\, the two men and the brain leave New Jersey and light out on I-70 for sunny California\, where Einstein’s perplexed granddaughter\, Evelyn\, awaits. And riding along as the imaginary fourth passenger is Einstein himself\, an id-driven genius\, the original galactic slacker with his head in the stars. Part travelogue\, part memoir\, part history\, part biography\, and part meditation\, Driving Mr. Albert is one of the most unique road trips in modern literature. \n  \nCopies of this book are available at the library.  \n  \nOur discussion will be on Zoom.  Please register here to receive the meeting details: \n  \n\n                \n                        \n                            Nonfiction Book Club Registration - February 2026\n                             \n                        \n                        your nameemail*\n                            \n                        \n          \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n            \n        \n                        Δ
